The Hills they die on

W few years ago, I put together a list of hills the democratic party would defend until death. That list was.........

For instance, let's go through the list....

#7 Caribou

#6 Judicial Fiat

#5 The NEA

#4 The Welfare State

#3 Trial Lawyers

#2 Affirmative Action

#1 Abortion

You know what you won't find on that list. Your average garden variety working schlep. You know the people democrats claim to represent. But when push comes to shove, if the interest of your average union worker gets in the way of any of these hills..........tough shit.

If needed any evidence of that read this piece.

Senior Obama administration officials concluded the federal moratorium on deepwater oil drilling would cost roughly 23,000 jobs, but went ahead with the ban because they didn’t trust the industry’s safety equipment and the government’s own inspection process, according to previously undisclosed documents.

Critics of the moratorium, including Gulf Coast political figures and oil-industry leaders, have said it is crippling the region’s economy, and some have called on the administration to make public its economic analysis. A federal judge who in June threw out an earlier six-month moratorium faulted the administration for playing down the economic effects.


So let me make sure I have this right. The Obamunists were more than willing to sacrifice the jobs (probably high paying union ones at that) for some unknown environmental threats?

What gets me is how the union heads are so committed to a party that would sell them out in a heart beat.

Don't forget the 3000 undocumented scabs that the democratic party is more than happy to pipe into this country daily from Mexico. Not only does the democratic party endorse the unregulated and illegal competition for union jobs, but they recruit union members to actively protest enforcement of the borders. That takes balls. Yet the union rank and file dutifully complies with their democrat masters. Why I have no idea.

I would classify the illegal issue as part of the welfare state; good call.
